DESCRIPTION

A Graph::Weighted object is a subclass of the Graph module with attribute handling. As such, all of the Graph methods may be used as documented, but with the addition of custom weighting.

METHODS

new()

my $gw = Graph::Weighted->new;

Return a new Graph::Weighted object.

Please see Graph for the possible constructor arguments.

populate()

$gw->populate($matrix);
$gw->populate(\@vectors);
$gw->populate(\@vectors, $attribute);
$gw->populate(\%data_points, $attribute);

Populate a graph with weighted nodes.

For arguments, the data can be a numeric value ("terminal node"), an arrayref of numeric vectors, a Math::MatrixReal object, or a hashref of numeric edge values. The attribute is an optional string name, with the default "weight."

Examples of data in array reference form:

[]      1 vertex with no edges.
[0]     1 vertex and 1 edge to node 0 having weight of 0.
[1]     1 vertex and 1 edge to node 0 weight 1.
[0,1]   2 vertices and 2 edges having edge weights 0,1 and vertex weight 1.
[0,1,9] 3 vertices and 3 edges having edge weights 0,1,9 and vertex weight 10.

Multiple attributes may be applied to a graph, thereby layering and increasing the overall dimension.

get_weight()

$w = $gw->get_weight($vertex);
$w = $gw->get_weight([$vertex, $neighbor]);

Return the weight for the vertex or edge.

A vertex is a numeric value. An edge is an array reference with 2 elements. If no value is found, zero is returned.

get_attr()

$w = $gw->get_attr($vertex, $attribute);
$w = $gw->get_attr(\@edge, $attribute);

Return the named attribute value for the vertex or edge.

span()

my ($lightest, $heaviest) = $gw->span();
my ($lightest, $heaviest) = $gw->span($attr);

Return the span of lightest to heaviest vertices.

path_attr()

my $weight = $gw->path_attr(\@vertices);
my $weight = $gw->path_attr(\@vertices, $attr);

Return the summed weight (or given attribute) of the path edges.

TO DO

Find the total weight beneath a node.
